Input please - anyone with a family of 5.
My wife is ready to move away from a mini van. We have 3 teenage kids. I think the Q7 is probably the better choice, but I think she'd like the A7 more. I got my eye on a couple 2013/2014 Prestige's.
I'm thinking with the hatch the A7 has plenty of storage room. How would it be on long trips?
Looking for some first hand experience.

Just my opinion, but Q7 = bad, A7 = good :-)

I did not know this when i got my A7, but it only has 4 seat belts. The rear middle is hard plastic. I believe the new ones have a 5th seat belt. I love my A7, but atlas they could give the option to a kit to switch the rear seat.

We drove to Orlando this year, which is a 500 mile trip for us, and did it very comfortably. The back took 4 suitcases, four computer bags and assorted wife's stuff. She did have to sacrifice the powered fan and assorted food she wanted to throw in there. All with the cover still in place.
Nothing compared the storage of the Honda Odyssey, but I'll take the trade-off.

To me...buying an SUV anything is like wearing moon boots year round. While they are great in the snow...for that short time you need them, it just doesn't make sense the rest of the time...which usually coincides with most of the time. I know a lot of people "swear" they need their SUV...ok.whatever. I'd take an A7 all day long. That's a beautiful car. The ride awesome. And as others have noted...holds plenty. Not to mention gets better gas mileage, corners better, handles better, stops better, easier to get in and out of, looks better, and as a result...is a much safer vehicle overall. That alone would be why I would want my family in an A7 over any SUV.

We did a 1,400 mile trip (two adults & two teens - only one person under 6') last summer. The trunk was packed like SpectreGadget's pic. You can load a ton of stuff in there and still have everything hidden under the parcel shelf / sunshade. No issues.

You definitely need a vehicle with a 3rd row. The A7 is nice, but to load up 3 teenagers and luggage for a long trip .... sounds tough.
Even with 2 teenagers ... it would be tough with all the luggage. Especially if your kids are girls like mine. LOL.

But if you have all three rows of seats being used...where does the luggage go? on the roof?
